Often times in VM/CMS, the pound sign is used a command-line separator
i.e., you can "stack" multiple commands on one physical input line.

If you think of the pound sign as a place holder similar to the use of the
asterisk e.g., "you are being made out to be an a**," I think you'll catch
my drift.  Of course you then might a**ume that I have a filthy MIME. ;-)
